Helping Tasmanians With Epilepsy For Over 45 Years Epilepsy Tasmania is a not-for-profit community organisation improving the quality of life of Tasmanians with epilepsy, and those around them, through education, coordination and support. 20,000 Tasmanians have epilepsy which impacts around 80,000 family members, colleagues and friends. One-fifth of Tasmania’s population is affected by epilepsy, but this condition still has a stigma that causes hurt and frustration. 51% of Tasmanians with epilepsy experienced discrimination due to epilepsy this last year.
